Hi Damy, I ticked both "Director" and "Employee" as I am director as well as only employee of my company. On submitting extra forms, my NCS lady was very kind and accepted all extra forms that I wanted to submit. They cant refuse for any reason, any additional info/documents that you wanted to submi...

Sam69, Dont surrender your Indian PP, until you receive your British PP by post. It happened to one of my friend and they found themselves in unfortunate situation in an emergency. For me my ceremony is mid Nov, however I'm travelling out of UK in 2nd week of Dec. I'm hoping I will receive PP by end...

Is it allowed to share you case number? we could maybe figure it out if it goes by numbers or not? not sure. May be @CR001 can confirm? I dont think it is by numerical order. When I was waiting impatiently for my decision last month, I just curiously tried various numbers just before me and after m...

I have applied for naturalisation in May and got my approval last month (Sep 17) :D In my application I have mentioned the following (in page 12 I guess where...

Yes I think we should voluntarily request Home office to raise the fee by extra 1£ and send it by first class. Usually there will be a feedback form at the end of application process. May be we should request this if they can implement it that would be awesome and speed up the process. Or may be ema...

Did your university provide any letter when you first applied for NI. If you still (!) have that letter, that might help proving that you are authorised by the university to work and apply for NI

Its not rocket science to empathise on someone who cannot remember all his part time jobs & shifts as a student. When I was a student I didnt generally foresee & mature enough to note down each & every employment you do as part time so it would be asked 10 years later. Simple. I dont mind if it trig...

Given that I submit my 6 year history and explain I cannot remember my employment history previous to that, Case worker would anyways do a check of my 10 year employment history and they have access to the information much better & quicker than I have. Would that lead to a successful application? I ...

While a student I have worked in part time jobs but always stayed under 20 hours / week, I was always conscious about that. However was working in shifts and part time, so not remember exact/accurate details of employer address. I remember the year I have worked and employer name but not accurately ...

Is there a possibility that I can provide some accommodation proofs from the builder that I have occupied the new build? And submit the new build valuation done by the bank? Or can I just book some accommodation in a hotel/cottage for few months? Can someone shed some light please? Any ideas or sugg...

Help please... have anyone got any ideas?
